Eggless Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs
This sheet pan stunner is packed with color, warmth, and bold Mediterranean flavor that makes it feel anything but simple. Zucchini, summer squash, two kinds of bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas all get tossed in a fragrant blend of turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika before hitting a hot oven ā and the result is deeply caramelized, tender vegetables with just enough crisp on the chickpeas to keep things interesting. The trick of adding the garlic halfway through roasting is a small step that makes a big difference, keeping it golden and sweet rather than bitter. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens everything up beautifully. Finished with chopped flat-leaf parsley and optional crumbled feta, it's the kind of dish that looks impressive on a platter but comes together with almost no fuss. Every ingredient here is naturally free of eggs, so there's nothing to swap or second-guess ā just honest, wholesome produce and pantry spices doing all the work. Serve it as a hearty side, pile it over grains, or eat it straight from the pan ā no judgment.
